Bottled. What can I say, it looks and tastes..."brown." A bit of dried fruit, some nuts and candi sugar. Decent malt profile, possibly a bit overcarbonated for the style. Somewhat dry finish. Pleasant, tasty but a bit nondescript.

(22oz. bottle, 2007 vintage) Pours a lightly cloudy amber-brown body with a small beige head. Aroma of peat, smoke, caramel, toffee, and light maple syrup. Flavor of raisins, roasted malt, peat, candi sugar, molasses, and light pepper with a dry finish.

Bottle, Thanks to Bu11zeye. Pours a hazy amber with off-white head, ok retention. Aroma of alcohol & caramel. Flavor is a nice semi sweet caramel & alcohol spice. Medium full body with medium carbonation. Pretty good stuff......

"Sweet malty" is the complete essence of this beer. This one was totally malt based and had lots of brown sugar and honey overtones, with very small undertones of cane sugar and beet juice. There was minimal hoppiness and actually a slight bit of astringentness, but this beer was quiet honestly amazingly drinkable and succulent. Succulently pleasant is the best way to describe this masterpiece. Really one of a kind and remarkable.

Tap at Mugs. Aroma is great, nice chewy sweetness with lots of sticky, chewy, peaty smoke. Rich maltiness, brown sugar, light rum and chewy sweetness. A bit of plumminess on the back. Rich palate, sweet but not cloying, silky mouthfeel. Lingering kettle caramelization and rich peaty smoke. No complaints about this one.
